Burqa and mask bans are good, but the refusal to recognize child marriages is better. Now for the real test - will the Swiss remove children from their abusers if they determine an unrecognized child marriage is in place? Regardless, it's a good first step. In America, most states have age limits for marriage, but the federal government, while not encouraging Muslim immigrants to bring their child brides with them when immigrating, has also betrayed a willingness to look the other way if a Muslim declares himself the "guardian" of a non-blood related female child during immigration proceedings. We've also seen various local and state governments shoot down laws protecting young girls from genital mutilation. A doctor was acquitted of performing genital mutilation on girls in Michigan, not because he didn't do it, but because the judge felt it was a "cultural practice" the law shouldn't be involved in. Yes, really. Now, if only the left would see my purchase of firearms, ammunition and love of hunting meat for my family as a "cultural practice," we'd all be set, I guess. 🙄
